Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a package for objects, in particular flat objects, for example pizzas.
  • Such a package is known from US-3,938,726 .
  • the pizza package that is known therefrom has identical package parts comprising a rib-reinforced bottom part and a cover part that fits therein and thereon.
  • Each of said parts comprises a recessed tray and an elevated lateral rim provided with an outer edge, which extends along the circumference of said tray.
  • Two types of closure means are formed in said rim, by means of which the package can be closed after the two parts have been placed one on the other.
  • the outer edge of the rim is interrupted by outwardly opening notches or cut-outs of a first type.
  • tapered tabs or buttons of a second type located within the outer edge are furthermore provided in the rim, which tabs or buttons are brought into engagement with the closure means of the first type upon closure of the package, thus holding and locking the two package parts together. According to said document, it is the stiffness of the parts, in combination with the frictional contact therebetween, which keeps the package parts interlocked.
  • the interlocking tapered tabs only exert radially inwardly oriented, friction-based pressure forces on the two package parts, however.
  • the bottom part will sag under the weight of said object, to such an extent that the notches in the rim of the bottom part will move towards each other to a significant extent.
  • the effect of this is that the tapered tabs of the cover part, which engage in said notches, will be pressed in radially inward direction, causing the cover to spring open. Reinforcing the bottom part with ribs, thus adding to the weight of the bottom part, will be necessary in that case in order to retain the required stiffness and to prevent the aforesaid effect.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a light-weight package for objects, in particular flat objects, which is easy to produce, using little, exclusively environmentally friendly material, and which has an improved closure system.
  • the package according to the invention is characterised in that it comprises two separate, identical parts which can be nested when in the same orientation and which are made exclusively of a biodegradable fibre material, such as sugar cane, each comprising a tray and a rim extending on the outer side thereof, which forms two complementary closure means configured as interlocking closure means to be pressed together with a clamping fit, which closure means are both located at circumferential positions such that the package will close when the upper sides of the complementary closure means are pressed together.
  • a biodegradable fibre material such as sugar cane
  • the package according to the invention has the advantage that the rim forms closure means, so that practically no material of the rim is usefully used for any purpose other than for forming the closure means.
  • hardly any material of the package is wasted in that case, whilst in addition an adequate closure all around between the two parts is obtained.
  • the entire two-part package can advantageously be made of the same material, viz. a biodegradable fibre material, in particular sugar cane.
  • a biodegradable fibre material in particular sugar cane.
  • closure means which, as is well-known, are provided in or on a rim are in some cases insufficiently capable of providing the closing forces that are required in practice, as a result of which the contents can fall out of the package. This is true in particular when packages filled with an object are being manually transported, for example, during which transport the package and the closure means may be subjected to considerable bending and torsional forces.
  • the complementary closure means configured and positioned in a specified manner are capable of taking up the required closing forces in spite of being implemented in fibre material, in particular sugar cane, even if in practice the package parts bend and/or twist, at least if the rim forms the two types of complementary closure means and not, therefore, if the closure means are simply formed on the rim. It has been found that in the latter case, given the properties of the fibre material, it is not possible to produce the required closing forces. It has furthermore been found that if the rim forms said two types of complementary closure means, there is no need to reinforce the bottom of the package according to the invention or make it extra strong or extra thick, which leads to a further cost price reduction.
  • the rim that forms the two complementary closure means leaves intact and enhances the optical association of each of the package parts as a plate. This increases the economic value and the degree of acceptance of the package according to the invention with the public at large. This is also advantageous for the environment, because it is no longer necessary to wash up pizza plates with the associated use of washing water and washing-up liquid.
  • a preferred embodiment of the package according to the invention is characterised in that the rim as a whole forms the complementary closure means.
  • no rim material is used for any purpose other than for forming the closure means.
  • none of the material of the package is wasted in that case. This advantage does not affect the advantages described in the foregoing in any way.
  • Figures 1 , 2 and 3 each show two package parts 1, which are identical in shape and which, after being suitably rotated and turned upside-down, can be placed one on top of the other.
  • Each package part 1 forms part of a package 2 for objects, in particular flat, possibly edible objects, for example pizzas.
  • the package 2 as shown comprises two, usually identical, parts 1 that fit into each other, each part being provided with a recessed tray 3 and with an elevated lateral rim 5 extending along the circumference of the tray 3, which rim has an outer edge 4.
  • two types of closure means 6-1, 6-2 fitting into each other with a clamping fit are provided in the rim 5.
  • the closure means as shown, jointly referred to by reference numeral 6, which can be pressed together with a clamping fit or a snap fit, are preferably configured as bosses 6-1 and openings or holes 6-2 being complementary thereto, which are located on the other side of the bosses 6-1, which bosses and openings or holes fit into each other. Both types of closure means 6 are preferably formed by punching, deforming or pushing through.
  • the rim 5 On the opposite flat side, the rim 5 has a recess at the location of the closure means 6-1, which makes it possible to fit the bosses 6-1 and the recesses 7 into each other upon stacking the nested (in that situation) parts 1 while taking up a minimum amount of space in vertical direction.
  • the closure means 6-1 and 6-2 alternate along the rim 5, being provided in the rim at a number of discrete positions, in this case 2x2 closure means 6.
  • the closure means 6 are further configured for placing the opposite rims 5 of two package parts 1 on each other when closing the package 2 without using a special cover.
  • the two types of closure means 6-1, 6-2 are then pressed together at one point P, whereupon the two parts 1 shown in figure 1 can be rotated in the horizontal plane relative to each other about the point P, which is practically completely surrounded by rim material. Rotation will in that situation continue until the facing rims abut each other over the entire area thereof, whereupon the remaining closure means 6-1, 6-2, which will be accurately aligned already by that time, can be easily pressed in place.
  • the closure means 6 in the form of bosses 6-1 and matching through holes 6-2 shown in figure 1 each have a circular section, seen in the plane of the package part.
  • bosses 6-1 and holes 6-2 may also have an oval shape (not shown in this figure), however. That which has been explained above with regard to rotation in a horizontal plane applies in particular as regards moving the parts 1 together in a vertical plane and closing said parts, when the closure means 6, which will have an oval section in that case, are brought together at a point P and held together at said point P during the closing of the package parts.
  • Suitable materials are a strong plastic material, an environmentally friendly, possibly biodegradable material, preferably fibre material, such as pressed wood, cardboard or cane, in particular sugar cane or the like. Especially pressed sugar cane appears to be strong, without reinforcing ribs being needed, and yet easy to tear up and thus easy to discard in a normal wastebasket, this in contrast to a known pizza box provided with an attached cover.
  • the package 2, i.e. the two, furthermore preferably identical, package parts 1 each have the shape and/or the dimension of a usual stackable plate, from which an edible object, such as a pizza, can be directly consumed by the user(s).
  • the package plates which can be supplied in stacked condition, can be multi-angular, such as quadrangular, pentagonal, hexagonal or square or, as shown, circular in shape.
  • 2x2 positions of the alternating means 6-1 and 6-2 on a part 1 as shown in the figures, also other combinations are possible, such as 2x3 or 2x4.
  • Figure 2 further shows an embodiment of a package 2 which comprises two identical package parts 1, which completely fit together when correctly stacked, with the rim 5 forming the 2x2 regions of the complementary closure means 6-1 and 6-2.
  • the rim 5 is fully taken up by the means 6 arranged in alternating relationship along the rim 5.
  • Figure 4 is a detail view of a possible variant of the sectional shape of the rim 5 that is used in this case.
  • the section is tapered and practically parabolic, so that in particular the walls of the complementary means 6 fit tightly together.
  • Figure 3 shows an embodiment of a similar type of package 2, which comprises two identical package parts 1, which completely fit together when correctly stacked, with the rim 5 forming the 1x2 regions of the complementary closure means 6-1 and 6-2.
  • the rim 5 is fully taken up by the means 6 arranged in alternating relationship along the rim 5.
  • Figure 5 is a detail view of a possible variant of the sectional shape of the rim 5 that is used in this case.
  • a tapered sectional shape is used here as well, but the closure means 6-1 has a trapezoidal sectional shape, so that the walls of the complementary means 6 will fit tightly together in this embodiment as well.
  • closure means 6-1 and 6-2 that are to be moved together onto each other in order to effect a quick closure of the package. It is not necessary, therefore, to press edges or several individual closure means together at several angularly displaced positions by exerting manual force at various positions for closing the package 2. In both latter variants, the parts 1 are closed by manually pressing the closure means together at two diametrically opposite positions, possibly simultaneously and in a single operation.
